LAUNCH began in 2018 with a partnership between Walker County Schools and Georgia Northwestern Technical College (GNTC). Students who participate in LAUNCH complete high school courses and college courses at the same time. When students finish high school through LAUNCH, they graduate with a high school diploma and a certificate to be able to go directly into the workforce. HVAC, Welding, Cosmetology, Logistics, Computer Networking, Criminal Justice, Medical Assisting, Allied Healthcare Pathways, and Early Childhood Education are some offerings provided through the LAUNCH Program!
